I have a watch that uses MM/DD for date, which pissed me off to no end. While looking for a way to change it to DD/MM, I found out that they actually used ISO-8601 and dropped the year. Now I don't know how to feel about it.

If they dropped the year it's no longer an ISO date.

ISO 8601 has spec for how to drop the year. You write it like --MM-DD (two dashes to indicate omission). Of course nobody really uses it beside the absolute nerds (e.g. me).
